LANTERN.

' lanterns.

The object of the invention is to provide an improved means for raising and lowering the globeholding frame and globe and for looking the same in either of said positions.

A further object is to provide an attachment of this character which will be simple, strong, durable, and inexpensive in construction, eflicient in operation, and well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of a lantern, showing the arrangement of the attachment when the globe is down or in closed position. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the position of the attachment when the globe is raised or in an open position. Fig. 3 is a side view, partly in section, taken at right angles to Figs. 1 and 2, with the parts in the position as shown in Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a similar view with the parts in the position as shown in Fig. 2.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 denotes the lantern, which may be of any style or make and which is here shown as a tubular lantern comprising a base portion 2, in which is arranged an oil receptacle or font. On the base is arranged a burnersupporting mechanism 3, and to said burnersupporting mechanism and the base 2 are connected upwardly-projecting draft-tubes 4, which support the cap or top portion of the lantern and through which the under draft of air is supplied to the burner.

Arranged on the burner is a globe-supporting plate 5, which may be of the usual or any suitable construction and is here shown as having arranged thereon an annular upwardly-projecting flange 6, in which is secured the globe-protecting frame 7, which is here shown and is preferably constructed of wire bent to form outwardly-disposed upwardly-projecting protecting-bars 8. These bars 8 are brought together and connected by a suitable fastening-clip 9, from which the wire rods are bent to form upwardly-projecting inclined loops 10, which encircle the globe, as shown. In the upper portion of the loops 10 are formed short loops or bends 12, with which are adapted to be engaged hooks 13, formed on the lower ends of a globe-holding rod or bar 14, which is arranged in a globeholding sleeve 15, slidably mounted in the top piece of the lantern-frame. Said sleeve 15 is provided on its upper end with a cap 16, which is spaced therefrom and supported above the same by means of lugs 17 as shown.

Arranged below the globe-supporting plate -5 is a globe-raising shaft 18, said shaft being provided on its opposite ends with upwardly and outwardlv bent cranks 19, which are journaled in bearings 20, formed in the inner sides of the tubes 4. The shaft 18 is also provided with a centrally-disposed rearwardlyprojecting crank 21, pivotally connected to the under side of the globe-plate 5 by means of a clip 22 or other suitable connection.

Pivotally mounted upon the shaft 18 adjacent to one side of the plate 5 is a curved lifting-lever 23, said lever being preferably pivotally mounted on the shaft 18 by bending the end of the lever into a series of coils 24, which loosely engage the shaft to permit the lever to swing freely thereon; The lever 23 is adapted to work through and engage an eye 25, formed on the right-angularly-bent end of one of the guard-frame wires 8, where by when said lever is raised or swung upwardly on the shaft 18 the curved portion of the same will bear against said eye, which will rock the shaft 18 rearwardly in its bearings in the tube 4, thereby turning the centrally-disposed crank portion thereof upwardly, which will raise the globe-plate 5, together with the globe and protecting-frame, upwardly to the position shown in Figs. 2 and 4 of the drawings. The lever 23 is provided adjacent to its pivoted end with a sharp bend which forms a locking-recess 26, in which the e e 25 will spring when the globe is in a l owered or closed position, thereby locking the lever down and holding said globe and frame in a closed position. Adjacent to the outer end of the lever 23 the same is bent to form an offset or shoulder 27, over which the eye 25 is adapted tospring when the lever is up and the globe and frame in a raised or open position, thereby locking said globe and frame up in a raised position. The outer end of the lever 23 is bent to form connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction-and operation of'the invention will be readily understoodwithout requiring-a more extendedexplanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and'the'minor details ofconstruction may be resortedto without departing from the ;prin ciple or sacrificingany of the advantagesof this invention as defined by the appended claims.

HaVing thus describedmy invention, What I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, =is

.1. A globe raising and lowering attach ment for lanterns, 1 comprisinga lifting-shaft,

a leverpivotally mounted. on said s'haft,.and

an eye on the guard-frame of said globe to engage the lever apivotally :mounted on said shaft, substantiallyas described.

2. A globe raising and lowering attachment for lanterns comprising a'cranked raise ing-shaft, an eye arranged on the guardframe of'the globe acurved'lifting-lever'pivotally mountedonsaidsha'ft to engage said eye, andzmeans formed on said lever to :lock;

the globe-supporting frame in aclosed or open position, substantially as described.

3. A globe-lifting attachment for lanterns comprising a shaft having on its ends cranks, said cranks being ournaled in bearings in the lantern-frame, a centrally-dis osed crank 'formed in said shaft and pivotaily connected to the globe-supporting plate, an'eye formed on the globe-guard frame, a curved liftinglever pivotallymounted on said crank-shaft to engage said e e, and means formed on said lever to ho d said lantern-globe in a raised or lowered position, substantially as described.

4. A g'lobe-'lifting attachment forlanterns comprising a crank-raising shaft journaled in the frame'oft'he lantern, an eye'formed on the globe-guard frame, a lifting-lever-pivotally mounted on said shaft :to work through saideye, alocking recess-formed in said lever near itspi-votalconnectionto en age said eye when the globe'frame is down t ereby locking the samein a'closed position, alockiingshoulder or offset-formednear the'outer end of said lever to engagesaid eye when the globe-frame is raised, thereby locking the same up, anda ihandle formed on the outer end of saidilever, substantially as-described.

In testimony :whereof I have hereunto set -my hand :in .the :presence of two subscribing witnesses.
